Summary
Reviewers say 'Daredevil' is acclaimed for its dark, gritty tone, mature themes, and complex characters, setting it apart from other Marvel productions. The series is praised for exceptional fight choreography, realistic portrayal of a blind vigilante, and strong performances by Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio. Cinematography, character development, and moral ambiguity are highlighted strengths. However, some note issues with pacing, repetitive action scenes, and certain character arcs. Despite these criticisms, the overall reception remains highly positive.

I seriously don't understand why Netflix would cancel this show. The writing was spectacular, the acting was phenomenal, the action scenes are just perfect, and so much more. I cannot even express my love for this show. I was a fan of the Flash and thought it was a good show until I watched this. I haven't even continued the Flash since because it does NOT compare to this show.
Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk is easily my favorite MCU villain. He's just so compelling and thrilling. He truly brings this show to life. Jon Bernthal as Punisher was absolutely flawless. Wilson Bethel as Bullseye is a fantastic villain. And finally, we have Daredevil himself: Charlie Cox. Charlie Cox IS Daredevil. No question about it. Just watch it. You'll thank yourself.
This is a spectacular, more realistic adaptation of Daredevil and it works so well. The action is done much more realistically, making them even better. Action, character development, story, all the things a TV show and movie should have can all be found right here.
WATCH. IT. It will change superhero shows for you forever

Let me start by saying Daredevil season 1 was so great it was the reason I got Netflix.Daredevil season 2 for me was ok,I really liked the punisher but I didn't feel much for the main plot.but wow season 3 ..I would probably get my memory erased to relive this masterpiece again...
Every character which is introduced has a proper backstory.you actually care about each and every persons motives.you get to choose who you like.i love great villians and this show delivers not one but two.Wilson Fisk from season 1 itself was very impressive and season 3 he delivers an exemplary performance,but the person who stole the show was bullseye,his character development was amazing and the action scenes were phenomenal.usually shows have plot holes ,directors don't really care to fill them up but this show had no plot holes.It was really amazing ,they went for a bit unexpected ending which I really liked.usually multiple villains ruin movies and shows but this they did it so well.lol,this is probably how been afflecks Daredevil movie should have been.Must watch :)
Those familiar with comics will know Frank Miller's run on Daredevil is up there with the highest points of his career. Other writers, such as Bendis and Brubaker, hit similar highs in their writing of the character. It's something about Daredevil that brings out incredible storytelling, whether it be the downtrodden and persevering Matt Murdock or the gritty realism of the setting in contrast to the colorful heroes that populate comic books, Daredevil has had a history of fantastic luck with having its potential tapped on paper.
Now, that potential has been tapped on the screen. From the first episode you can tell the property has been adapted with love and a lot of hard work. The cinematography is beautiful in every frame. The characters could not have been cast better. If this weren't actually a better deal for fans, getting 13 hours of (excellent) content, I would hope Charlie Cox could front a Daredevil movie franchise. Because he could carry it.
Daredevil has been the star of some of the best comics ever written, so the adaptation was always going to come under scrutiny. But how it holds up against them? This might actually be better.

This is not your average super hero show. I love the dark tone of the show. It has great story, great acting, and great action. Go ahead and watch this show.

As a huge fan of Marvel I'm a little biased because I pretty much like everything they put out. My bias aside, Daredevil is terrific! It's actually my favorite Marvel show (along with The Punisher). If you don't believe me just read through the reviews here and look at the ratings. Even the critics loved this. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were born to play Daredevil and Kingpin. They're easily the best part of the show. This is a show that you'll want to binge as quickly as you can, it's that good. It's too bad that Netflix couldn't renew their contracts with Marvel and they had to stop making the Netflix Marvel shows because every single one of them was great! Now that they're on Disney they can bring these wonderful characters back. They already started to with Daredevil and Kingpin showing up in other shows and they just renewed Daredevil for another season. Now they have to do the same for The Punisher, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. At least bring them back into the MCU somehow. If you're a Marvel fan then this is a must watch!
